begin description
The Donner Party was the most famous tragedy in the history of the
westward migration in the United States.  In the winter of 1846-47,
abount ninety wagon train emigrants were unable to cross the Sierra
Nevada Mountains of California before winter, and almost one-half starved
to death.  Perhaps because they were ordinary people -- farmers,
merchants, parents, children -- their story captures the imagination.
These data include some information about each of the members of the party.
The data were taken from the internet site

Johnson, Kristin (1996). Unfortunate Emigrants: Narratives of the Donner
Party. Logan, UT: Utah State University Press.
